## What is wrong

On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and  Newfoundland\-Labrador\), the rear axle may corrode and fracture.  If the rear axle fractures, vehicle handling may be adversely affected, creating the risk of a crash.  Correction: Dealers will install rear axle reinforcement brackets.
